Vitamin C

When I was 26 yrs old, I suffered from extreme allergies and my acne came back as if I were back in puberty. I went into a local health food store and requested some Vitamin A for my skin. I was literally at the point where I was considering getting shots for my allergies (but it did not occur to me that they could be connected). The gentleman that helped me ask a simple question "How much C are you taking?" I remember telling him whatever I was getting in my multi-vitamin. He told me he was going to do me a favor if I would do as he ask and 'gave' me a huge bottle of 1000 mg. timed-released rose hip based Vitamin C. He asked me to take 20K mg per day for at least 3 weeks to begin to see results. I was scared to take that much of anything and cut the dosage in half. So, I was taking 10 pills per day and after about a month, I went back to the store to get more. My skin had cleared and my allergies were very minimal. I thanked the man that had helped me and gladly purchased my second bottle of Vitamin C. He said after my allergy symptoms had completely cleared, I could cut the dosage down to about 5K mg and eventually to about 2K per day.

Since I was not on a good diet regimen, now I am not surprised how unhealthy I was. But, I will never forget what saturating ones system with a good rose hip based (timed release)Vitamin C can do. Now, whenever I feel the least bit of sneeze or cold coming on, I know what to do.

Magnesium

According to Dr. Bernard Jensen, magnesium is known as the "relaxer." With the tensions of daily living, we develop colitis, constipation, spastic conditions and ulcers that will not allow our bowels to eliminate toxic materials adequately. Natural laxative foods are yellow: Peaches, apricots, oranges, grapefruit, yellow summer & winter squash. Yellow cornmeal, even though it is a heavy starch, is still great as a laxative because it contains so much magnesium.

Magnesium contributes to the alkalinity of the body. It calms nerves, induces restful sleep, combats acids, toxins, gases and impurities. It prevents phosphates from depositing in joints and other dense body structures. If these deposits occur, arthritis, bone complications or gout may develop. A person with a hyperactive nervous system must have magnesium and this is why our daughter benefits from its use for her Fibromyalgia. She takes Nature's Sunshine "Fibralgia" and I have another friend that takes 7 of these per day for her rheumatoid arthritis.

Chromium

Chromium is necessary for proper utilization of dietary sugars and other carbohydrates by optimizing the production and effects of insulin. Milk and refined carbohydrates can flush chromium out of the body.

Helps increase blood levels of HDL, while decreasing the levels of LDL. Also, may be linked to would healing and fertility.

Alfalfa

Alfalfa - 10 times as much Calcium as milk! Almost as much protein as a burger! Contains fiber to lower cholesterol and every enzyme known to metabolize! B vitamins for nerves! Works as an anti-inflammatory! The thought is that since Alfalfa contains every vitamin and mineral known to man is that it also contains those yet undiscovered!

"Ultimate Green Zone" and liquid "Chlorophyll" - www.mynsp.com/aboutlife

My husband and my daughter who think green vegetables are "gross" take 4 Ultimate Green Zone capsules per day - awesome results. The liquid Chlorophyll makes a wonderful cold glass of tea - just add purified water and a little sweetener to taste (non-sugar and no aspartame). We have stopped making regular southern sweet iced tea (which my husband drank for years) and replaced it with Chlorophyll tea - keep it in the fridge at all times.

Flourine Deficiency

Fluorine is the element that brings beauty to teeth and bones by adding a hard surface on the outside of the calcium (this is not the unevolved chemical added to water or what you get from the dentist). Germ life and acids cannot get in and break down the calcium if Fluorine is present. Fluorine is found in most raw foods - heat destroys it. Raw goat's milk, raw green quince, sea plants and raw fish are nature's richest in Fluorine. The deepest internal tissues and the spleen are strongly affected by and must have this element in order to function correctly.

Some signs of Fluorine deficiency:

Difficulty thinking
Hallucinations
Sadness in morning
Crumbling teeth & bones
Slow healing of fractures
Partial or total blindness
Swollen, granular eyelids
Clammy skin
Worry or indifference
Fatty food preference
Falling hair
Pus development

Milk Thistle

Across the world doctors who prescribe statin drugs also tend to suggest the use of Milk Thistle to repair the liver - not so here in the good 'ole USA.

A friend of mine came to me several months ago with questions about Nature's Sunshine products. I ask him what he was taking and found out he was taking a statin drug. He began taking our "Milk Thistle Combination" and not long after, he was diagnosed with Sclerosis of the Liver and was in horrible shape. He immediately discontinued any medications or supplements that the doctor did not recommend and called me to let me know. I ask him to please continue to take the Milk Thistle as it had not had time to work on his liver - he agreed and got back on it.

He called me a couple of weeks ago after a follow-up with the doctor. The doctor asked him what he had been doing because all of his readings were "NORMAL." We were all so excited and proud to give credit to God's medicine.

Basic Program for Excellent Health

The following nine things are recommended for every human being on this earth to enjoy a healthy life. You will see where choices are given on products, but the basics are the same. All products are available on my site and we refer to this as the "Basic Program": www.mynsp.com/aboutlife

Minerals: Ionic Minerals with Acai
Digestion: Food Enzymes
Intestinal: Bowel Detox
Good Flora: Probiotic Eleven
Essential Oils: Super Omega-3 / Flax Seed Oil

Multi-Vitamin: Super Supplemental Vitamin & Mineral (with or without Iron)
Green: Ultimate Green Zone / Chlorophyll

In order of importance for the normal person in case one can't afford to do all at once (however, eliminating those trips to the doctor saves a lot): Minerals; Green; Digestion; Intestinal; Essential Oils; Good Flora; Multi-Vitamin; Anti-Bacterial; Detox

Functions of Minerals

A wide body of systems are affected by the function of minerals:

• Beating of the heart
• Clotting of the blood
• Maintaining nerve responses
• Transporting oxygen
• Building of bones and teeth
• Control of body fluids
• Regulation of digestion
• Governing energy metabolism
• Regulation of other minerals and vitamins
• Assisting in glucose metabolism

Building and regulating are a mineral's job. Because we are less healthy than past generations for numerous reasons, we must supplement our body with them. Remember, minerals come strictly from diet - the body does not produce them and with our lack of nutrient rich food in today's society, we have to add them. Ionic minerals (electrically charged) are superior to non-ionic minerals and are more easily absorbed into the intestinal tract cells. Then the body may use them where they are required.
